A lot more than conspiracy theories is explained by that. Why people join religions and cults despite obvious huge gaps in their worldview. Why people follow political leaders while being aware of their reputation of lying and/or lacking reputation of being successful at what they claim to do.

Ever since I discovered the concept of emotional neglect I am growing in belief that problem is a lot more pervasive in society than a few therapy patients. Just because most people have no complaints doesn't mean they were not affected.

Our culture has made rational behavior such a huge virtue that seeking good emotions became something that needs to be pointed out as a revelation, even though seeking to feel good is literally the biggest and maybe the only motivation people have. The default assumption when understanding other people is to expect them to prefer what makes sense over what feels good, which is not true.

Metaphorically, if one has a culture that teaches people to believe that body temperature is fundamentally unimportant and mostly random noise, would it really be a surprise that people ignore your attempt to convince them in diagnosis A over B when the only difference between those two were the presence of fever? That will be like convincing to choose A because it's summer, people will just shrug it off.

In your example, when you shout about "seeking satisfaction and comfort" the receiver instantly skips that because "no way that is important enough to be the true reason". Maybe it's not as hopeless, one just needs to focus less on shouting messages and more on ensuring the receiver has enough fundamentals to get them.
Yeah, bazel is sort of the exception that proves the rule, here. I wish it did not have such an absurd learning curve; I've found it next to impossible to get started with it.
The bigger issue is that no OS was designed for expansive and flexible async functionality. The implementations reflect practical limitations of remaining compatible with the rest of the guarantees the kernel makes. I would love a portable standard, I’ve been doing async for a long time and I would benefit greatly, but I also understand why it hasn’t happened.

A good standard would likely require every OS to materially redesign its internals in a way that would have backward compatibility issues for the other users of the system. I am not against the idea since I would clearly benefit personally, but I understand why the tradeoffs make it unlikely to happen.

Even going from io_submit to io_uring just on Linux changes the way you need to architect your software, aside from API changes, and that is the same kernel. It deeply touches the behavior of the system.

>He ended inflation by causing a brutal recession through extreme interest rate hikes, which resulted in an irreversible shift in economic paradigms which caused the US to abandon its industrial lead as we faced recession, idle capital accumulation, and mass unemployment

Neat. I'm born just in time for the sequel. I wonder how insulting it was back then to be told "we're doing fine" by the feds moments before disaster (that's where we are now).

wonder what we're moving to after the deficit economy. Can we do Coke bottle caps?
I say "trivial" in that it did not actually change the core elements of private insurance and employer sponsorship. It's a slightly improved version of the old system -- one which recently provoked literal blood lust from both sides of the aisle.

Within that framework the changes can be seen as significant. But that framework is widely despised in the US and considered insane everywhere else.

I think we should add that the outcomes are worse at _all_ socioeconomic levels. The rich get screwed over as well in this system as well. It's unfortunate that so many of them have better overall outcomes and/or myopic experiences that many are emotionally invested in being _able_ to pay exorbitant amounts for more personalized care - regardless of the societal consequences - as an interpretation of "freedom."

But hey, it's not like the US is a democracy exactly given that public opinion generally doesn't translate into policy changes anymore.
Can you explain why you think that commercial and investment banks should be separate? To be clear: Amoung highly developed nations, this is universally allowed now -- all of them allow commercial and investment banks within the same company.

Also, Goldman became a nationally regulated bank to get access to the Federal Reserve window. So did Morgan Stanley.
> Not at all, because chinas legal angle with Taiwan is the opposite

we are discussing hypothetical situation of Russia nuking military bases if western missiles produce large damage on Russian core infra. China will likely also want to nuke bases in Japan, S.Korea and Philippines as act of self defense, regardless if Taiwan will be the reason or something else.

> And Trump is an old man and most of the nuclear response is pretty hardcoded into the military institutions. Meaning, so many people will tell Trump he will be seen as weak if he does not react, that he will push the red buttons.

I don't believe this. He and his appointments likely will say Russia is Europe's problems, lets better build wall on Mexico's border instead of mutually annihilate each other.

Yes. Wikipedia _almost_ operates like this. I have no expectations of anyone digging into who wrote what, it turns into a soup of information. I still do know I contributed, but I don't care if what I wrote gets rewritten, replaced, improved.

They're only going to be expensive if they're the "premium" option. If reusable is the only option, then these $5 basic reusable vapes I see in google will go into stores everywhere on the same shelves that used to have disposables. They're small too.

Given current history, the Feds I guess. President is powerful, but he can't just dig an economy out of recession (which seems to be the times when we have huge swings, for the sake of change). Even if he could, the methods are so unpopular that you basically doom your campaign. Only a lame duck could afford that.

That's a part of why the Feds levy a lot of independence. In this case, what the people want isn't always the best for them.

Exactly. FDR is the reason that the President today has an unbalanced amount of power compared to Congress.

That being said, back then, I would argue that the situation would have been very different had a lesser person than FDR been elected president, given the kind of political climate it was around the world.

Not to take away from the rest of your points, but I thought Amazon only raised $8m in 1995 before their IPO in 1997. Very little venture capital by today’s standard.
Countries are not "for" ethnicities, nor should they be in the modern era. Yes, I include Japan, Saudi, etc. in my calculations. But those states' existence did not make a substantial group of people stateless.

They used Quipu to catalog most administrative information (taxes, census, military, etc) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quipu

You may want to take a look at hardware definition languages like Verilog, if you haven't before. They're designed for this sort of thing.

(If you want to do your own thing that's fine too - just wanted to make sure you're aware of what's out there.)
Sure, but what if the motherboard (or some other proprietary and expensive component) has a major failure? Then you're stuck with a locked CPU.

Generally, the used market values standard form factor stuff more, so you'll frequently see people running a supermicro/etc server with a low end CPU wanting to upgrade to a better CPU from the same gen. So, pulling CPUs to sell to the enthusiasts in the used market from proprietary servers (HP, Dell, etc) when they go EOL has been pretty standard practice for at least a decade. There then ends up being a big pile of undesirable proprietary motherboards/chassis, and low-end CPUs for them. Both eventually get e-wasted, sometimes with the motherboards/chassis getting parted out.

The reasoning for this is pretty simple. Shipping an entire server is expensive - at least $100 CAD, sometimes more. Shipping a motherboard is cheap (sub-$30), and a CPU basically free (~$10). A proprietary server cannot be upgraded down the line (whereas a standard SSI-EEB chassis can have its motherboard swapped for a newer one), which decreases its value further. If someone has a standard chassis, they can buy any standard motherboard; to sell your proprietary one, you have to find someone with a proprietary chassis and a dead/missing motherboard, a very small market (supply vastly outpacing demand). For someone to want to buy your proprietary whole server, they'll have to be willing to accept that the chassis is junk whenever they want to upgrade past its generation of hardware, which is a relatively small market. Resale value in a few will also be terrible, because no one wants old hardware they can't upgrade. The market has a pretty hard cap on value for old hardware. All of this put together means that proprietary whole servers are worth (maximum_price_for_used_server * proprietary_undesirability_multiplier) - (shipping_cost), while a standard motherboard is worth (maximum_price_for_used_server) - (shipping_cost) and an unlocked CPU is worth (maximum_price_for_used_cpu) - (shipping_cost). It can sometimes be the case that selling an unlocked CPU from a proprietary server nets more money to the seller than selling the entire server, depending on era/brand/specific CPU.

Well, the WYSIWYG menu editor of Kando is one if the most complex nonstandard UI elements I have written so far. That's an aweful lot more than a few buttons.

Also, there is usually no ready-made pie menu widget in native frameworks. So you will have to draw the menu yourself with low-level shapes like boxes, circles, and text. If you want these to be themeable, if you want to have a powerful animation engine, and if you want that your scene is efficiently drawn even at high resolution with several hundreds of said shapes moving around your screen, things get quickly much more complex than you may think...

And soon you will realize that CSS and modern browser engines are exactly optimized for this.
> There's no technical moat around online sales. And lots of companies sell online. But Amazon is still the biggest (by a long long way) (at least in the US). Their "moat" is in public minds here.

I don't think that's true. I think it's actually the opposite. Global physical logistic is way harder than software to scale. That's Amazon's moat
> when polling shows younger folks want just as many kids as their own parents but can't afford them.

it isn't just that they can't afford them, it's that the standards for "good parenting" have increased. Simultaneously, both partners have less time for raising kids because of economic pressure

But the state doesn't subsidize childcare or offer universal pre-K, so the only real solution is to keep importing people from more "trad" cultures until the whole thing blows up

ZVHI doesn't take into account additional confounding predictors such as house quality, improvements (zoned and unzoned), historic status (limits improvements and changes becoming a significant headache for buyers in SF), etc that play a role in impacting pricing in SF.

Also, realtors in the Bay Area now recommend underpricing in order to spark a bidding war due to information asymmetry (buyers know the price is low but so is inventory so you need to give a significantly higher bid to lock in) - Mercury News is going to release an in-depth investigation about this in the next 1-2 months btw.

Ads don't offend me categorically. If publishers had text links, plain banners or any combination of content that added up to around 100kb sans images, I would probably consume more of their content and occasionally click an ad.

Video interstitials, paywalls or modal dialogs asking me to allow megabytes of tracking requests are a deal breaker. Anything that annoys or slows me down is more expensive than the value of the content, which I typically want to skim.

The content is rarely worth it. As it concerns Reuters, the same content will be parroted and recycled elsewhere. Legacy media is tone deaf from editorial policy to the nuts and bolts of how content is displayed.

If millions of people organized and did that it would be different, extremely rare events are handled very differently than massive organized behavior.

Every SSN
Many of them are listed as, say "PMG VF25", meaning they've been through a third party grading program and are in a specific, easily identifiable type of holder.

I'd expect if you tried to take such notes to a high-end dealer or auction house, they'd check a list like this.

In the coin collecting universe, similar encapsulation is commonplace for rare or commonly counterfeited types. Some fraud has had its cover blown because they tried to fake the capsule (for example, to turn a $100 coin into a $1000 one by bluffing on the grade). The capsule serial number doesn't match the record on the third-party grading service's website, or the same number was used on fake holders, so the grading service tagged it as such and re-certified the "legitimate" original coin.

Amazon has scale economics, branding power, and process power. It would take years to fully rebuild Amazon from scratch even given unlimited money.
